The Ministry of John
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides a comprehensive overview of John the Baptist's ministry and Jesus' baptism as documented in Luke chapter 3. Despite some overlapping material, the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke are not parallel. John's ministry was to prepare the way for Jesus and his preaching of baptism as a symbol of repentance is documented in all four Gospels. Gregg also notes the historical accuracy of Luke's account, confirming details previously disputed or criticized by historians.
